The Chevrolet Bolt EV is part of a new generation of electric and hybrid cars that are becoming more and more commonplace in the U.S. The Bolt boasts futuristic lines and modest exterior dimensions; however, it makes excellent use of interior space with seating for five plus luggage. The base Bolt EV comes well equipped with features like keyless entry, HID headlamps, a Programmable Charge Control System, Chevy Mylink Radio, and Android Auto/Apple Carplay, dual USB ports, even GM's Teen driver assist mode and 10 air bags.

Propulsion comes from an advanced electric drivetrain that pairs wonderfully with the AC synchronous motor with a huge 60-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that carries an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. It produces 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque that can advance the Bolt EV from 0-60 mph in under 7 seconds. In addition to its standard 110V charging system, Bolt EV owners can opt for a 240V home-charging setup that cuts battery replenishment time to about nine hours or available DC Fast Charging capability that can add 90 miles of range in 30 minutes.
